Hello! I’m Carlotta, a proud native of Turin – or Torino, as we locals call it. I was born and raised in this vibrant city, and over the years, my love for it has only deepened. That passion led me to pursue my tour guide and tour manager license, and I’ve been sharing the beauty of Turin, Piedmont, and other stunning Italian destinations with visitors from all over the world for over 15 years. My curiosity and drive to constantly learn have sparked my deep interest in art, local history, and the preservation of the rich cultural, gastronomic, and folkloric traditions of my region. I stay up-to-date by crafting new itineraries and researching fresh, captivating stories to share with my guests. What I love most about being a tour guide is seeing the amazement in my guests’ eyes as they discover my beautiful city and its surrounding areas. I’m also incredibly passionate about our local food culture and traditions. In fact, I’ve created a "Market Tour – Like a Local" and became a certified sommelier in 2024. I now also lead wine tours in the Langhe region, where you’ll taste exceptional Barolos and Barbarescos at hand-picked vineyards. I work closely with hotels, local institutions, tour operators, and both Italian and international associations to ensure a seamless experience for my guests. I’d be thrilled to welcome you during your visit to Turin and Piedmont! Licenses & Qualifications: - Licensed Tourist Guide and Tour Manager by the local government in Turin and Piedmont - Master’s Degree in Tourism Development - Cettified Sommelier by the Italian Sommelier Association - I am authorized to lead tours both outdoors and inside museums and art exhibitions A practical note: I am not a driver, but I can accompany you in your vehicle or arrange for a car and driver upon request. I look forward to showing you the best of my city and region!

Overview of your Turin tour

On this private day tour with a true Torinese guide you will discover the grand history of the city through its main landmarks in the centre with an enjoyable and easy walk. I will share how the city has evolved from its ancient Roman origins, to its golden age in 17th century when the legendary Savoy family moved the capital of their Duchy from Chambery, France, to Turin, transforming it in one refined European city with magnificent palaces and squares. Walking under the elegant arches, we will see how Turin eventually became the first capital of Italy and was home to the first Parliament of the country. After being a hotspot during the industrial era of FIAT cars, the city gained back its pre-industrial vibe and is now regarded again as one of the most elegant and beautiful in Europe. During the tour you'll also have the opportunity to visit one of the main museums in town.
